Google’s logo turns black for the Queen

Google has changed its iconic logo to an all black version on its homepage to mark the Queen’s funeral today.

The search engine giant’s usual bright red, yellow, blue and green colours was replaced by a sombre grey in the UK on the day of the Queen’s death on September 9.

Today, the logo turned black along with a link to watch the funeral service for Queen Elizabeth II.

At 00:00 BST on Sunday, the famous logo changed from grey to black in the UK.

Sending our deepest condolences to the people of the UK and around the world mourning the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Her steadfast leadership and public service have been a constant through many of our lifetimes. She will be missed.
